STATUTORY RULES 1997 No. 412

Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Transport and Regional Development

International Air Services Commission Act 1992

International Air Services Commission Regulations

Section 55 of the International Air Services Commission Act 1992 (the Act) empowers the Governor-General to make regulations prescribing matters which are required or permitted to be prescribed under the Act, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the Act.

Paragraphs 14(1)(b) and 21(2)(c) of the Act respectively provide that applications for determinations and variations of determinations to the International Air Services Commission (the Commission) must be delivered at the address specified in the International Air Services Commission Regulations. Regulation 3 specifies the Commission's postal and physical address for the purposes of these sections 14 and 21 of the Act.

Since the making of the Regulations, the Commission has moved premises. The Commission also wishes for applications to be delivered to it by means other than by hand or postal delivery, such as facsimile and via the Internet.

As a result, consequential amendments of the Regulations were necessary.

The amendments to the Regulations:

*       substitute the address of the Commission with the address of the Commission's new premises; and

*       allow applications to be delivered to the Commission by facsimile or via the Internet

Details of the proposed Regulations are contained in the Attachment.
